5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SISESOL file cabinet, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: The cabinet is coated with an electrostatic phosphorus-free epoxy spray layer, making it resistant to corrosion and rust, and easy to clean. Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Drawer Slides: The ball-bearing slides are designed for smooth operation. If drawers become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the slide mechanisms.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose connections to maintain stability.
• Environment: Store the cabinet in a dry environment to prevent moisture accumulation, although it is designed to be moisture-proof.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your file cabinet.

• Drawers will not open:
  • Ensure the cabinet is unlocked.
  • Check if another drawer is already open. The anti-tilt mechanism prevents opening more than one drawer at a time.
  • Verify that the drawer slides are not obstructed.
• Drawers are stiff or noisy:
  • Check for obstructions in the drawer slides.
  • Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the ball-bearing slides.
  • Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Uneven surfaces can affect drawer alignment.
• Cabinet feels unstable:
  • Ensure all assembly screws are securely tightened.
  • Verify the cabinet is placed on a flat, stable floor.
  • Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity for the top (220 lbs) or individual drawers (110 lbs).
• Lock not functioning:
  • Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly.
  • Check for any debris or obstruction in the lock mechanism.
